Teacher recommendation: What makes this student stellar? “Michiela Schwoerer is a compassionate student who is interested in the welfare of her peers. In class, I can rely on Michiela to provide students who were absent with her class notes so they have something from which to study for exams. She is an avid participant in class discussions and her work is always of the highest quality. Michiela also relates well to younger people as is evidenced by her participation in Big Brothers / Big Sisters. In short, Michiela’s easy going personality and willingness to help others makes her a real asset at Valders High School.” — Robert Evans, social studies teacher
